Quickly shall we know concerning the successions of the light-bearing lamps, of the beacon-lights and the fire, whether they were true, or whether this delightful light hath come, and, after the manner of dreams, mocked our minds. I see this herald here, coming from the shore, o'ershadowed with boughs of olive; and the thirsty dust, kin-sister of mud, of the same yoke, bears witness to me of this, that neither voiceless, nor by the smoke of fire, lighting up for you a flame of mountain-wood, he will make signals. But he will either proclaim our joy to you more fully—for the tidings that are otherwise, I deprecate-for oh! may a good sequel come to the good things that have appeared.

à d'étranges messages de feu, quitte à souffrir, déçu, quand changeront les choses ?
Il est bien du gouvernement d'une femme d'applaudir à ses vœux plus qu'à la réalité. Trop crédule en son désir la femme va très vite au delà des faits ; mais très vite aussi périssent les nouvelles qu'a proclamées sa voix.

Whether theſe fires, that with ſucceſſive ſignals
555
Blaze thro’ the night, be true, or like a dream
Play with a ſweet deluſion on the ſoul,
Soon ſhall we know.
An herald from the ſhore
I ſee; branches of olive ſhade his brows.
560
That cloud of duſt, rais’d by his ſpeed, aſſures me
That neither ſpeechless, nor enkindling flames
Along the mountains, will he ſignify
His meſſage; but his tongue ſhall greet our ears
With words of joy: far from my ſoul the thought
565
Of other, than confirm these fav’ring ſignals.

Presto sapremo se veraci furono
545
le fiaccole onde a noi venne la luce,
e i segnali di fiamma, e le vicende
di fuoco; oppur se ci deluse, come
sogno, la vampa che qui lieta giunse.
Veggo un araldo dalla spiaggia muovere,
550
di rami d'oleastro ombrato il viso.
L'annunzia a me la polvere, sorella
sitibonda, finitima del fango.
Egli non già senza favella, né
bruciando face di montana selva,
555
nunzio darà col fuoco e con la fiamma;
bensí parlando ci dirà... che il cuore
s' allegri altra notizia udir non voglio.
Fausta conferma aggiungasi ai segnacoli
fausti chi ad Argo fa diverso augurio,
560
del suo malo pensier colga mal frutto.

Soon shall we know whereof the bale-fires tell,
580
The beacons, kindled with transmitted flame;
Whether, as well I deem, their tale is true,
Or whether like some dream delusive came
The welcome blaze but to befool our soul.
For lo! I see a herald from the shore
585
Draw hither, shadowed with the olive-wreath—
And thirsty dust, twin-brother of the clay,
Speaks plain of travel far and truthful news—
No dumb surmise, nor tongue of flame in smoke,
Fitfully kindled from the mountain pyre;
590
But plainlier shall his voice say All is well,
Or—but away forebodings adverse now,
And on fair promise fair fulfilment come!
And whoso for the state prays otherwise,
Himself reap harvest of his ill desire!

Bald wird sich's kundthun, ob die nachtdurchstrahlenden
Leuchtwarten, ob der Flammensäule wechselnd Licht
465
Wahrheit verkündet, oder ob der frohe Strahl,
Nach Traumesart erscheinend, uns den Sinn berückt.
Schon naht ein Herold vom Gestade dort heran,
Delzweig' um Stirn und Schläfe; wirbelnd auch bezeugt
Des Kothes Zwillingsbruder mir, der durst'ge Staub,
470
Nicht als ein stummer Bote, nicht auf Bergen Glut
Entflammend bring' er Kunde nur durch Feuerrauch.
Nein, mehr enthüllend, mehrt er uns die Freude noch
Das Gegentheil zu sagen, bebt mein Mund zurück.
Zum Heile, das erschienen, komme neues Heil!
475
Wer andre Loose dieser Stadt zu wünschen wagt,
Der ärnte selbst die Früchte seines Frevelsinns!
(Ein Herold eilt herbei.)

erstes Stasimon. Die rhythmischen Ephymnien, bestehend in der dreimaligen Wiederkehr des gleichen Versmafses am Schlusse der drei Strophen und Antistrophen, lassen vermuten, daſs die drei Strophenpaare von den drei στοίχοι des Chors, die Ephymnien von dem Gesamtchore vorgetragen wurden. Eine ähnliche Form hat das Segensgebet Suppl. 638 ff. Die sittlichen Erwägungen, welche der Fall Trojas in Bezug auf die Besiegten und die Sieger erweckt (zu 413), werden mit, dafs Zeus getroffen, darf man wohl sagen" das Vorhergehende angeschlossen. an
